You might be one of the people reading this and thinking, “there’s no way I could save half my income.”
I used to be right there with you.
It was December 2012, and I was working hard to pay off a small mountain of debt. A friend told me that the best way to get ahead was to save at least half of what you brought in.
Immediately excuses piled out of my mouth. “I don’t make enough money!” “I can’t do that right now!” “Maybe someday in the future.”
